"Smart Medicine for Your Eyes is an A-to-Z guide to the most common eye disorders and their treatments, using both conventional and alternative care. This easy-to-understand book is divided into three parts. Part One provides a simple overview of how the eyes work and introduces methods of treatment, from acupuncture to nutrition. Part Two is a comprehensive directory to childhood and adult eye disorders and their treatment options. And Part Three guides you in using the procedures suggested in Part Two. Handy troubleshooting and first aid sections offer help when time is short. A vital bridge between mainstream medicine and proven traditional therapies, Smart Medicine for Your Eyes, Second Edition, is a reliable source of information that you will turn to time and time again"--

Providing an ideal balance of theory and practice, Low Vision: Principles and Management covers all aspects of providing effective eye care to individuals with visual impairment. This concise yet comprehensive resource covers everything from theoretical background to current rehabilitative aids and low vision treatment strategies-all while adopting a practical approach to vision care. It brings practising eye care professionals and students fully up to date with current optical and electronic devices and how they are used in everyday practice, as well as evidence-based vision rehabilitation guidelines. Features comprehensive guidance on visual rehabilitation for acuity loss and visual field loss.    Describes a wealth of practical advice and real-world case scenarios to help guide your day-to-day patient interactions as well as your most challenging situations.    Covers hot topics, including the link between mental health and low vision, assistive technologies, measures of quality of life and other outcome measures, WHO classifications of visual impairment, and best practices for auditing and commissioning vision services.    Contains over 200 diagrams, illustrations, and patient photos to aid in visual understanding.    Explains how eye care professionals can work within a multi-disciplinary team to provide complete care.   An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.

Ophthalmic Pathology: The Evolution of Current Concepts examines how our current understanding of morphologic disease, nomenclature and classification over the last century came about. The book explores the historical context and the modern trends of ocular nosology, emphasizing the science of disease classification. Chapters highlight major studies and developments surrounding approximately 50 disorders whose diagnoses are established by pathology, corresponding to a historical road map of current nomenclature, methods of disease classification, and the role of diagnostic morphology. Using a streamlined, highly illustrated format, this book provides a unique historic and evolutionary perspective into current views on the morphology of eye disease.

Prolonged microgravity exposure during long-duration spaceflight (LDSF) produces unusual physiologic and pathologic neuro-ophthalmic findings in astronauts. These microgravity-associated findings collectively define the Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS). In this book, the editors compare and contrast prior published work on SANS by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Space Medicine Operations Division with retrospective and prospective studies from other research groups. The book describes the possible mechanisms and potential etiologies for SANS, and provides an update and review on the clinical manifestations of SANS including: unilateral and bilateral optic disc edema, globe flattening, choroidal and retinal folds, hyperopic refractive error shifts, and focal areas of ischemic retina (i.e., cotton wool spots). The ocular imaging findings (e.g., retinal nerve fiber layer, optic disc, and choroidal changes on optical coherence tomography) of SANS is also described, including the intraorbital and intracranial findings on orbital ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The knowledge gaps for in-flight and terrestrial human research including potential countermeasures for future stud is also explored, including reports on the in-flight and terrestrial human and animal research being investigated by NASA and its partners to study SANS both prospectively and longitudinally and in preparation for future long duration manned missions to space including the moon, the asteroid belt, or Mars. We think this is a unique topic and hope that NASA and its research partners continue to study SANS in preparation for future longer duration manned space missions.

The thought of anyone touching my eyes, let alone performing surgery on them, was beyond frightening. I was scared to death to undergo cataract surgery. The reason I wrote The Eyes Have It is to provide readers an understanding of the process and to allay fears. I also offer tips about how to select a good cataract surgeon, a key to a successful outcome. In addition, this easy-to-understand book includes discussion of the types or cataract surgery and lens implants. Conversely, I also explain the risks of complications including pre-existing conditions as well as post-operative issues. This handy book is for anyone who plans to undergo cataract surgery and endeavors to enjoy successful cataract surgery, i.e., amazing vision!

I am very proud and excited to introduce to you this book, which provides many interesting indications on how to better understand and handle the world of optical coherence tomography (OCT). Reading the chapters, you will be aware that this device is extremely important not just in the clinical practice of retinal diseases, but is also very useful as a surgical tool. Moreover, application of OCT has crossed the borders of the retina and is currently being applied to corneal diseases and glaucoma. I am confident you will find enough useful information to improve your practice using OCT and to provide a better quality of care for your patients.

Vision is more than the ability to see 20/20. It is comprised of eye movements, eye alignment, focusing, visual processing, and much more. When you have a vision problem beyond glasses, we call that a Functional Vision Disorder. With Vision Therapy for Home Study, Dr. Goldstein reveals therapy techniques to enhance your vision function and to treat symptoms of Functional Vision Disorders. This book contains the same techniques Dr. Goldstein has successfully treated thousands of patients in Connecticut for 20 years.

OCT angiography (OCTA) is a revolutionary imaging modality that allows visualization of the vascular structure in the retina and choroid en vivo. Optical Coherence Tomography and OCT Angiography is a comprehensive guide that explains the science of OCT and OCT angiography, as well as clinical interpretation of images. As OCT angiography becomes the clinical standard, it is imperative to develop the nomenclature and descriptive interpretation to guide diagnosis and treatment. This book is intended for use by clinicians, technicians and imagers to develop a standard vocabulary and help guide the user towards more accurate assessment. Case presentations of all major retinal and choroidal diseases, using OCT angiography, OCT and fluorescein and ICG angiography are included.

Whilst this book is primarily compiled for nurses who care for patients with eye disease, it will be useful to other health professionals who are also interested in the holistic ca re of such patients, e.g. opticians, orthop- tists, social workers and junior medical staff. The care is presented as a systematic approach to the more common actual and potential problems. Typically, a problem is identified with a desired outcome and the nursing interventions possible to achieve this. Evaluation has not been included as this is dependent on an identified time limit for outcomes to be achieved which is individual to each patient. Part One covers the general aspects of ophthalmie care in the various situations where patients are nursed, e.g. casualty, theatre, wards. Part Two is based on a medical model, where each section of the eye is studied separately; the applied physiology of that part of the eye; the more common conditions affecting it; the possible medical management of the condition and the nursing care of the patient taking into account the medical prescription. The list of medical conditions is not exhaus- tive, and only a general guideline of medical management is given as far as it influences nursing care. A list of widely available books for further reference to ocular pathology and medical management is given in the Appendix.
